Magnolia's Story: Advocating for Yourself and Others

As a breast cancer survivor, Magnolia learned first-hand that primary care physicians are often unaware that cancer survivors have unique medical needs as a result of their cancer treatment. Part of Magnolia's work at Dana-Farber is to provide information to cancer survivors about the possible long-term effects of their treatment.

– Richard Boyajian, RN, MS, ANP
